Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Unit of Pressure is
A
watt
B
pascal
C
newton second
D
newton per meter
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The pascal (Pa) is the unit of pressure or stress in the International System of Units (SI). It is named after the scientist and mathematician Blaise Pascal. One pascal is equivalent to 1 newton (N) of force applied over an area of 1 square meter (m2).

Detailed explanation-2: -The basic unit of pressure is the pascal, defined as the pressure exerted by a force of one newton perpendicularly upon an area of one square metre. In North America, however, the US Customary System is preferred. This is based on Imperial units such as the pound (lb) and inch (in) or foot (ft).

Detailed explanation-3: -A pascal is a pressure of one newton per square metre, or, in SI base units, one kilogram per metre per second squared. This unit is inconveniently small for many purposes, and the kilopascal (kPa) of 1, 000 newtons per square metre is more commonly used.

Detailed explanation-4: -The correct option is A True The SI unit of temperature pressure is pascal.

Detailed explanation-5: -Pressure is measured in pascals, Pa-sometimes expressed as newtons per square metre, N m-2. These mean exactly the same thing. Be careful if you are given pressures in kPa (kilopascals). For example, 150 kPa is 150000 Pa.
